jesus@..., uriel@..., sabrina@...Please provide information about why you believe you qualify to operate Validators in the Canton Network and why you would prefer to do this yourself instead of using one of the existing operators. :
SenseiNode is the leading node operator in Latin America. We manage over 9,000 validators across 30+ networks and $1.2B+ in assets, with SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance. Canton’s focus on privacy, interoperability, and institutional-grade infrastructure aligns perfectly with our mission. We work closely with custodians, exchanges, and fintechs, making us an ideal partner to support Canton’s adoption across Ibero-America. We prefer to run the validator ourselves to ensure high performance, full compliance, and direct integration with our infrastructure. This also allows us to engage Canton’s ecosystem locally through education, events, and strategic partnerships. Canton needs technically capable and regionally connected operators, that’s exactly what we are.Contact at an existing Node Operator who will sponsor your onboarding process:

Validator Operations: We will run secure, high-performance validators with enterprise-grade standards to support the network’s reliability and decentralization. Supervalidator Role: We have plans to become a Supervalidator, actively contributing to governance, tooling, and protocol direction. Tooling & dApps We aim to build new tools and dApps tailored to institutional and retail users in Ibero-America, making Canton more accessible and usable. Regional Onboarding With a strong presence in Latin America, Spain, and Portugal, we will help onboard institutions, fintechs, and Web3 communities to Canton. Ecosystem Activation We will host technical workshops, events, and publish localized content in Spanish and Portuguese to grow awareness and usage. Strategic Partnerships We'll connect Canton with custody providers, tokenization platforms, and regulated finance actors aligned with its mission. Our Goal To be both a technical driver and ecosystem bridge for Canton in Ibero-America.Country of Incorporation :
